In a few years, when the average phones are huge (most of the LTE phones are already too big for my taste) and try to be too much and I just want a good phone with a few standard features.. maybe then.

FYI I am a former crackberry addict- those phones were the best phones and email-tenders I have ever had, but outside of those two arenas they were pretty sloppy.

Interesting. I went back to my old blackberry, after using an Android phone for about six months. I had no idea how much I missed it until I switched back. I don't want or need the apps that come stock on an Android (and that every single service provider wants you to have anyway). About the only thing I found useful that I regret not having was the ability for the Android to replace the GPS. That's it.

I like the keyboard, and although I had a keyboard on my Android, it was annoying to have so much of the functionality locked in to the touch screen. I might have tolerated the Android if I could have had one that I could just use the keyboard, but it was the final straw (for me), and I went back. When I called T Mobile to say I wanted to switch back, I got a two second pause while the person helping me picked up the official instructions. Apparently I'm not alone. ;-}

I'll replace this BB down the road with another one, esp now that they've refocused on the business user.

I have a Blackberry through my job and I can't wait til our renewal comes around so I can snag an iPhone. I like having a keyboard, but apps are severely overpriced (there's one that adds the simple feature of text message reminder alerts and it's like $10!) and others are just really poor (Yelp and Facebook). Since you can get Droids with keyboards I don't know what the advantage of BB is.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
